Super small and super cool!

23.10.2016

I like it a lot as a cymbal spot and on guitar amps. Really good on saxophones and for mid - side applications.
The slightly different frequency response of the two lobes can be an advantage or a problem depending on the application.

Inexpensive classic among the band microphones

Peter9751, 20.02.2014

Beyer has been building this microphone for a very long time and without a break since the 60s.

With all the hype of the last few years and the associated revival of the microphones, many people seem to have forgotten that this linear, tried and tested, perfectly processed ribbon mircofon, as well as the kidney pendant (M160), still exist.

Processing and sound are superior to all the Chinese-made ribbon microphones. Compared to the roughly 3-4 times more expensive Royer tapes, this microphone may be a little less flair spray, but turns out to be in the application as equal.

Two M130s result in a perfect pair of flowers (Bruce Swedian, for example, has always recorded the banking choirs with Michael Jackson), in combination with the M160, I have an excellent M / S pair for room microphones.
Or simply a M130 alone to an HH for perfect side damping to the snare (better than kidneys ever could) and silky soft heights. Great transients for distorted guitars and equally warm basses for clean sounds.

The micro of our studio and livealltag no longer think.
